I apologize if this is not the proper place for this posting. I am not 
sure, but would like to know, if these are CF related?

There are 2 problems.

1. The following error

Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = ()
Unable to instantiate environment for 'ODBC.'

One of my host Shanje indicated this is a problem with the CF Engine and 
that Allaire is aware of the problem and Allaire has been attempting to 
solve the problem since last May. I saw some msg traffic regarding this 
problem posted on the Allaire site. The last posting was several weeks ago. 
Has this been fixed?

I am not aware of this problem occurring with the other host I use, 
Intermedia.net. However, in fairness less technically oriented customers 
use the 3 sites on Intermedia.net and most of them would be totally 
bewildered and might just run from a Web site that said "Unable to 
instantiate environment for 'ODBC.'"

2. There are long periods (30 minutes plus) when the web sites on the 
Shanje.com servers are totally unresponsive, i.e., time out. Going to 
www.shanje.com is instantaneous. During the period while a Web site is in 
the process of timing out, on another browser I can run a tracert to all 4 
Shanje Web sites and the traces all look good, taking a couple of seconds each.

Shanje seems to imply this is a CF engine or coding problem. Some of the 
pages that time out have no time consuming functions, have been in use 
unaltered for a long time. So that would only leave a problem with the CF 
engine. I am having a hard time accepting that CF could survive wide spread 
usage with these kinds of server lockups. Of course these are shared 
servers at Shanje.com.

I couldn't uncover anything in the Allaire knowledge base on issue 2 above. 
Has anyone else seen this sort of thing?
